Newton's third law
The mass of an object multiplied by its speed or velocity
Momentum
A change in momentum created by a force exerted over time
Impulse
Total momentum in a system of interacting objects cannot change as long all forces act only between the objects in the system
Law of conservation of momentum
Is a quantity that measures the ability to cause change
Energy

Joule
The transfer of energy that results from applying a force over a distance
Work
Energy due to position (something is capable of becoming active)
Potential energy
Energy of motion (objects that are moving also have the ability to cause change)
Kinetic energy
Idea that energy converts from one form into another without a change in the total amount
Law of conservation of energy
Occurs when two or more objects hot each other
Collision
Object bounce off each other with no loss in the total kinetic energy of the system
Elastic collision
Objects change shape or stick together, and the total kinetic energy of the system decreases
Inelastic collision
A line is the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change)
